Creek Chub Bait Co. Lures

CCBCo #1508 Special Injured Minnow, Rainbow:

$750.00

An earlier rounded body from the 1930s. A pale silver-blue back, a 1/2" chatter through the top coat and two more tiny back dings. 3 very faint belly lines. Great glass eyes and nice hardware. Too early for a side marking. Out of an old time collection. Also, a solid unmarked NRA box, a hang tag, and a late 1930s pocket catalog. A jewel! (Cat. #17815)

CCBCo #6831 Jnt. Striper Pikie, Rainbow Fire:

$275.00

A scarce color. Tough to find so nice. All hardware except lip has been recoated in silver paint. A few light belly age lines, no pointers. Rub on paint in joint. EX-. So-so pocket cat. End label box w/ wear & a split at the left end. The end label has 20% missing, but all the data is there. An exacting description. The lure is better than described. (Cat. #18416)

CBCo #5301 Husky Dingbat, Perch:

$250.00

A very tough series, especially above VG grade. Old tackle boxes and toothed monsters of the deep didn't do these hefty baits any favors. This one has perfect glass eyes, none but almost imperceptible lines on the belly. There are several pointer pecks. Back stenciled. Hardware is above average. The green hair is fairly weak on the left and just a strong wisp on the right. The wood is VG++ or better. (Cat. #19047)

CCBCo #1606 Special Baby Injured Minnow, Goldfish:

$750.00

Quite rare. Out of a mature collection. Decent hardware, perfect glass eyes, double hooks. Nicks on top and left side. Right side much nicer. Belly rubs to primer and a network of fine lines. No left side marking (too early). VG+. A nice unnumbered box & a 1940 pocket catalog. (Cat. #19014)

CCBCo #3318 Altered Sarasota, Silver Flash:

$75.00

This angler-altered Sarasota came in a #3318 box (NOT part of this offering). It is complete from the glass eye to the tail. The fore section has been cupped and painted red. The chin has an added weight which is painted over in red and two more belly red spots. Quite unusual. Has an unmarked VG CCBCo box. (Cat. #19005)

A super example. One light age line on the belly. Teeny pecks by left eye. 98% paint remains on the unmarked tail/lip. No legs. (Cat. #18942)

CCBCo #302 Crawdad, Albino:

$45.00

Has the profile of a 1920s bait. Black bead eyes, red chin blush, CCBCo marked & plated tail. A few light age lines. Parts of the red legs are in the box. The store cost code and $1.05 price are still on the bait and can be removed if you wish. Brass cups, but looks earlier than WWII. A terrible CCBCo box, too. (Cat. #18925)
